lyrics

I feel fabricated
I feel unawake
I pull up to my house
I linger in the driveway
Where can I find the courage
Who hands out the strength
To deal with every action that may happen
After waking up today

I'm going to a place where small talk doesn't exist
And the only songs on the radio
Are the ones that you would listen to
And everybody's expecting something from you
But it's everything you've got
It just so happens you can give it to them without a problem

Numbers work against me
Words always betray
Every intention I might mention
Worth leaving my face
But if I just keep a smile maybe it'll change
And those who are accepting,
They might let me in their crowd to stay

Except I'm gonna spend my time where time doesn't exist
On a mountaintop with a shaman on a hallucinogenic trip
I will come home and apologize to every single person I have wronged
And thank the universe 'cause everything is in my favor

Will I be lost between what's right and what is suffering
Will any of this work we do pay off
While waves of nostalgia crest into anxiety
As every ounce of childhood is gone

I'm gonna spend my life in eternal bliss
I'm gonna spend it all where nothing exists
With Houdini by my side and everyone who's died
I'm gonna break it down
I'm gonna put it all back together
